93165 - ENDANGERED GLOBAL CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THE NEAR EAST (LM)

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

By the end of the course students will be aware of the issues, players and politics of the cultural heritage from a global historical perspective. Focusing on different case studies from the Mediterranean to the Near Eastern regions, students will learn how the cultural heritage has been manipulated and the strategies to prevent, protect and communicate it. The role of western intervention will be critically evaluated and compared to the local community perspective. Students will acquire a solid understanding of the international regulations on cultural heritage as well as the emerging role of the media in reshaping the way this is perceived and communicated. They will acquire some basic skills with the digital tools used in documenting and analysing endangered monuments and archaeological sites. They will also learn about the professional environment, internships and the job opportunities in this field. The methodological and practical skills they learn will enable students to form a critical assessment of the scientific and more popular approaches to the cultural heritage. They will also be able to carry out independent scientific research as well as to collaborate in professional activities preserving and publicizing this field. The different regions and diverse cultures considered will also allow students to relate to and work with heterogeneous cultural groups.
